Captain Amarinder Singh Warns AAP Against 'Destabilising' Punjab

Darpan News Desk IANS, 09 Feb, 2016 11:05 AM
    Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh today asked Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) not to engage in “disruptive and destabilising tactics” while terming it “anti-national”.
     
    “Bhagat Singh wanted freedom from British, who does AAP want freedom from. Inquilab is a revolutionary word given by Bhagat Singh. He gave his life for nation’s sake and now when our country is one, they (AAP) want to break it again by resorting to disruptive and destabilising tactics,” the former Chief Minister said.
     
    Amarinder lashed out at the AAP saying, “In the political arena in India, which has a Constitution, a Parliament and a system, you cannot ask for a revolution within the country, it is anti-national. And you will disturb Punjab”.
     
     
    Speaking to reporters after inducting singer and former AAP leader Balkar Sidhu into the party, he asked the AAP to come clean “about the posters circulated by it, carrying pictures of Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale, Arvind Kejriwal, Sucha Singh Chhotepur, Sanjay Singh and Bhagwant Mann, asking people to celebrate his (Bhindrawale’s) birth anniversary by paying obeisance at the nearest gurdwaras.”
     
    However, senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh rubbished the claim saying his party has nothing to do with the posters being circulated in the social media or otherwise.
     
     
    Accusing AAP of waging a rebellion, the former Chief Minister said, on the one hand they were asking people for revolution and on the other hand exhorting people to celebrate Bhindrawale’s birth anniversary.
